vestigated the mystery. Mr.. Bottomley's
cat had gone on the roof, crawled into
the "smoke-stack." slid down tho stove
pipe. and wedged herself fast under the
oven. They had to carry the stove out
in the yard, turn it over and take off the
bottom before pussy could be liberated.
1t is hardly necessary to call the atten.
ton of our citizens to the fact that the
drug firm of Dunn & Co., opposite the
Sheridan House, Bismarck, keeps on
hand at all times large stock of fresh
and pure drugs. which will be sold at the
lowest prices. Give the firm call and
be convinced Of the fact
The rain of Sunday was far.reaching
north and south, and grew in intensity as
it proceeded eastward. Burlelgh, En-
mons and Mclean counties received q
good drenchlug. - bismarck Tribune.
This statement is wholly untrue as to
Emmons County. The rain of Sunday
did not extend over a mile into this
county.
Over a year ago the RECORD, in refer
ring to visit from young Mr.. Slean. of
Glencoe. spoke of him as "a son of the
Rev. I. o. Sloan" And it was only re-
Gently that Mr.. g. p. Williams informed
us that Mr.. Sloan is single, and that the
young gentleman is his nephew. That

the territory, and may lead to the selec-

tofore in many parts of Dakota little At.
tention has been paid to the Office of as
SCISSOR. In reality it is one of the most
important.
Mr. William Southwick, of Beaver
Greek, has taken to the road. We do not
mean that he has organized q band of
'road agents." and will do the "your.
moneY.or-your-life" act. Oh, no; but
that he has taken to the road with ped
dler wagon and miscellaneous stock of
groceries and dry goods. He was in town
Friday, and reports very satisfactory
trade since he began business.
If you have to purchase groceries,
Of course you want them to be of good
quality and sold at reasonable prices.
And in this connection we will say that
George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer, is
establishing an enviabls reputation as q
merchant whose groceries are fresh and
pure, and one whe sells them at low
margin of profit He also makes a spe.
cialty of fruits and vegetables.
Sheriff Smith, of Steele, was in town
yesterday. He is interested IN introduc.
ing the patent gopher-killing machine
which originated In California, and was
mcntioncdin the RECORD week before last.
Briefly described, it is long syringe in
connection with an air-tlght box contain
ing sulphur and damp straw. Smoke
produced by combustion of the straw and
sulphur is injected into the holes, and
no "varmint' can survive it, The fire-box
(or smoke-box, rathcr) will run for half a
day without redlling. We learn from
our exchanges that tests have been made
of the machine in several places by dig.
ging into burrows that had been smoked
In every case the burrowers--whether 20.
pliers, badgers, foxes, or skuuks-were
found dead. The smoke is often seer
coming from half dozen holes besides
the one where the injection was made. Il
permeates every part of the underground
gallery.
